Java3D on OSX with Java 7

We have an application that visualizes a running simulation using jogl for fast 2D visualization and Java3D for 3d visualization.

I've been having some issues with jogl. Those are recorded here:

I'm also having issues (probably related) with the latest Java3d (1.6.0-pre7). Here's a screenshot:



The basic layout here is that the various visualizations are shown in a tabbed pane. When I choose the tab for the 3D display it displays as in the screenshot rather than in the tab panel. It also always stays at the front, even when other tabs are selected. The content is correct though and updates nicely as the simulation runs. This all worked fine before with jogl 1.1.1 the original Java3D and java < 7. I'm assuming this java3D problem is caused by the jogl related issues but wanted to make sure.

OS: OSX 10.7.5
Mac Pro, ATI Radeon HD 5770
Java 7 (java version "1.7.0_09", Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_09-b05), Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.5-b02, mixed mode)
I've tried both jogl-2.0-rc11 and the one mentioned in the link above (http://jogamp.org/deployment/archive/master/gluegen_656-joal_420-jogl_951-jocl_773/)

thanks,

Nick

Hi Nick, I've been experiencing a similar offset problem (also in tabs, as per NetBeans platform elements), see for example the discussion in http://forum.jogamp.org/Request-for-testing-on-OSX-1-6-0-pre6-released-td4028264.html .

We need a JOGL unit test to expose this issue and a new bug entry.
